I guess Florida doesn't have to worry about climate based disasters right ? There are no floods on the coastline right ? Tsing Tao is the idiot who decided massive Covid outbreaks in his area were 'fine nothing to see here'. Unless he's 10 feet underwater or one of his family members isn't dead from Covid, he doesn't care who is. He's selfish to the core like Trump.
Was this before of after that time when you almost lost your life to a rhino poacher while serving in the Peace Corps?
This wasn't a climate based disaster, my effeminate whiner friend from the North, it was incompetance in wildfire management. Something (incompetance) you guys in Canada should be very familiar with. Unless, of course, you believe the insurance companies pulling out 6 months before (after warning about negligence for awhile) was because they consulted their Magic 8 Ball and learned that a climate catastrophe was coming. And all I showed on COVID was that your alarmist calls on COVID were incorrect (and I was right). I've asked you to show where I can't "read a chart" like you claimed in another thread, and all I got was radio silence. But that could have been because you were spending too much time on Grindr and didn't see.
Exactly. It has to happen to him to be real, he is such a stereotype. They posture as "pragmatists" dealing with reality, but the only reason this is reality is because too many people like them refused to hold any line. If more people rejected say Trump, outright instead of making excuses, he wouldn’t be a factor. They aren’t just passive observers of an inevitable outcome, they created it by normalizing him. It’s not maturity, it’s capitulation disguised as realism. They’ll roll over for anything as long as they can frame it as accepting “the way things are.” And when things do go wrong, they blame incompetence or corruption but never systemic causes, because that would require them to acknowledge realities they’d rather ignore. It’s always about maintaining the illusion that their personal outcomes are entirely a result of their own intelligence and choices.
He's the kind of guy who doesn't want tax dollars to deal with potential climate change issues but wants federal help if his area gets hit with a massive hurricane or floods occur. The fact he is making fun of California and their fires is very telling it destroys his moral imperative to be listened to. The US has a problem they react to disasters but don't do enough preventative measures to reduce the damage and chaos when events occur.
The joke being to remind us that she goes over your head? Sorry, café table bubble intruding there. Got to keep the bubble strong.
The Bubbleman Creed This is my bubble. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My bubble is my sanctuary. It is my shield against nonsense, my refuge from the insufferable. Without me, my bubble is useless. Without my bubble, I am vulnerable. I must maintain my bubble true, keep it strong and intact. I must be more discerning than the fools who seek to pierce it. I must outwit them before they draw me into their delusions. I will pivot. My bubble and I know that what matters in life is not just survival, but the ability to filter out stupidity. We know that those who cannot respect boundaries will always try to breach them. We stand ready. My bubble is human, even as I am, because it is my mind’s creation. Thus, I will treat it with care, fortify it with Zerohedge, intellectual junk food fattens my bubble to ensure that it remains an impenetrable fortress. Before the universe, I swear this creed: My bubble and I are defenders of my sanity. We are the keepers of our peace. We will not be broken. So be it, until reality improves, or we no longer need protection. (Inspired by @Tsing Tao, 2025).
